A University of Florida survey which tracks month-to-month consumer confidence showed a two point rise in May.

This is yet another sign that there is optimism in Florida, said Chris McCarty, director of the survey. 

Normally the summer time is a good time for office moves as business is generally slower and more casual. Decision makers at companies feel like they can take the ‘time off’ that a move can sometimes require.
